Ready, Steady, Go!

Well, we made it - sort of. With 3/13 looming as the deadline earlier this week, Scott and I took stock of what needed to be done before we would feel comfortable moving up, and wrote out a list for each area. We told Chris to prioritize the sleeping areas, so at least we could move in there and just use the downstairs bathroom while he finishes that area. So he worked late Friday and some into Saturday, and we're set to move the bedrooms - today!
Here are some pictures of the master bedroom, cleaned and ready to go:

Here's the front 'reading area' with our built-in window seat and bookshelves:

And a closer look:

It's difficult to get a good picture of our closet, but we had Chris add some shelves for clothing:

Here's view down the hallway from our bedroom into the boys' room. You can see the built-in alcove shelves and the linen closets:

The boys' room hasn't changed much since the last posting, though we do now have the (light-blocking) blinds in, and the closets are (closer to being) done.



And one last view of the hallway from the boys' room to our room - bathroom - yet to be completely finished, of course, is on the right:

So if all goes well today, we have spent our last night in our downstairs bedrooms. Devin has now started saying that he doesn't like his bunk bed, so we're hoping that once it's dressed up with CARS bedding and his blankets and everything that he'll be ok. If not....I'm not sure we've thought of the contingency plan of moving the crib up there and I'm not sure where it would go. So our fingers are crossed.
I'll post pictures of the rooms furnished eventually. Next up is the transition of our downstairs bedrooms into a family room and guest room/computer room. I have a day off this week, and the plan is to do the painting of the family room that day. The fun never ends...
